Fix swap(array_t&)/swap(object_t&) to update parent pointers under JSON_DIAGNOSTICS

Both overloads swapped the underlying container storage but never called
set_parents(), leaving elements moved into *this with stale m_parent
pointers (typically nullptr from the free-standing array_t/object_t).
This produced wrong JSON Pointer paths in diagnostic messages and could
trip assert_invariant() on subsequent copies. Mirrors the fix already
applied in swap(reference other).
